| 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 |

10:35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, are going to him ...
they are saying to him ... Teacher!
  We wish that whatever we ask you ... that you do for us.
10:36 And he said to them ... What you are willing me? I am doing for you.
10:37 And they said to him ... Grant us that, one out of your right and one out left, we may "sit in your glory."
10:38 But Jesus said to them ... You do not know what you ask.
Are you able to drink the "cup" which I drink?
Or the "immersion" which I am immersed?
10:39 And they said to him ... We can.
And the Jesus said to them ...
The cup which I drink ... you will drink ...
and the "immersion" which I am immersed ...
  you will be immersed.
10:40 But to sit out right of me or out left is not mine to grant ...
but for the ones it has been prepared.
10:41 And having heard, the ten begin to be "angry around" James and John.
10:42 And calling them forward, the Jesus is saying to them ...
Know that the ones seeming to rule the gentiles are down-lording on them ...
and their "great ones" put down "authority" on them.
10:43 However it is not so in you ...
But who ever wishes to become "great" in you ...
He must be your "slave."
10:44 And who ever in you wishes to be "first" ...
he must be a "slave of all."
10:45 For even the "son of man" did not come to be served ...
  but to serve ...
And to give his "soul" ...
As a "ransom" on behalf of many.
